Yes, I was hoping for some strong advice on how a seller negotiates with the buyer when the buyer turns out to be a property developer who unfortunately has found the house from the local estate agent! I feel like I am in difficult waters as they are trying to push me into a corner to get the price down because the house is old and needs some work. Yes, it does need work but we priced the property according to the local market conditions and the condition of the house and this is our argument. This video is far too basic.
@@JOJO-ug9eiWould love an update on this Jo. My friend had a similar issue and held fast for nearly 2yrs and got the full asking price. Hope you were able to get this sorted😊
@@mogx2586 Thank you, it’s been a nightmare! We got fed up with the pushy buyer, (even the estate agent was fed up with them!). She wanted to do a survey for subsidence. We don’t have subsidence, but if a contractor wants work, they will say work needs to be done and we didn’t want that risk. Once your house is labelled that way it’s difficult to get insurance or another buyer. We told her we weren’t going to allow any more surveys to be done and that we would only work with her offer price. She walked away realising that we weren’t going to be mugged any more. Massive relief! The house was taken off the market. We did more work on it and it is back on again at the asking price we want. We have a viewing this week and can only hope the interest rate drops are going to stimulate more interest. We just want to move on with our lives.
not much about HOW TO NEGOTIATE in this.
